Music style On the Mortal Treason MySpace page they describe who has influenced them for this album.
As indicated by the album's title, Sunrise Over a Sea of Blood covers serious and weighty issues. The title track, according to Kimbrough, "talks about the end times and how the world is going crazy." "Most of the lyrics are about spiritual things that we go through ," he says. These songs provide an outlet through which Mortal Treason addresses tough topics the band encounters on a daily basis. One melody builds off another, telling a story, reaching a conclusion, and the ending isn't always happy.Various references from Mortal Treason's MySpace page
